QtCreator environment for STM32 32-bit ARM Cortex MCUs

    This repository is a tutorial and an example how to setup QtCreator environment for bare metal devices (STM32 ARM). This readme will describe a tutorial on how to tune up QtCreator, using OpenOCD for on-chip debugging, create a project with STM32CubeMX and import it into QtCreator. Here you can find the final project (usb_vcp) for STM32F4DISCOVERY board.

Prerequisites

• QtCreator
• ARM GCC
• GDB
• OpenOCD
• STM32CubeMX

QtCreator:

Download from QT site and install.

ARM GCC:

Open in terminal and run:
    sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi
or download and extract it from launchpad

GDB:

There is need an arm gdb with python scripting support.
Download it from the download archives.
Extract the source archive.
Open in terminal and run:
    ./configure --with-python --target=arm-elf
    make
When compilation done you can find the gdb executable in the main directory.
Another way is to use arm-none-eabi-gdb-py from gcc toolchain.

OpenOCD:

Open in terminal and run:
    sudo apt-get install openocd
or download and install from OpenOCD site

STM32CubeMX:

Download from STMicroelectronics site and install.

All is running on Linux Ubuntu 16.04. It should be similar for other Linux distributions or versions.
